Today, My children, is a day of thanks. It is a day to be truly thankful for all that is going on in your life whether it is good or bad. It is a day to be thankful for the things that you have already been through and have overcome. It is a day to be thankful for the things that lay ahead before you. Today is a day to not complain or to be bitter, but to be thankful for all things, what was, is, and is to come. This is not the day to focus on what you do not have, but to be thankful for what you do have and knowing that the things you need I will provide for you.

As you are thankful for all the things that you have already encountered and are experiencing now and the things that you are going to have in your life, you are watering your faith. It is a testimony to yourself that reminds you of the things you have already overcome and are overcoming in this time. It is a testimony of how stronger you are now to overcome the things that are ahead and to be prepared to receive all the wonderful things that I have for you to receive.

As you are thankful and allowing your faith to be watered by your gratefulness to Me for all the things that I have already done for you, it begins to feed your faith in believing for the things that are to come. As your faith begins to grow, there will be no room for doubt and mistrust. You will be opening yourself to begin to receive the blessings that I have for you to receive.
As you walk in being thankful and out of the complaining, you are preparing the ground to receive the blessings I have for you to receive. It is preparing the ground for the blessings to fall on ground that will flourish and will be able to be multiplied and to overflow for others to receive also. Your faith will be enough where you will no longer be worried about your own needs and wants, but become willing to help others without hesitation or selfishness. For this faith that you will be watering with being thankful and walking in this thanksgiving is the key to opening the door of preparation and allowing your heart to be where it needs to be to receive.

Today, allow pure and true thankfulness to come flowing from your heart and through your lips. Allow your testimonies to be one that helps strengthen those around you and yourself. Let this be a time to see how much stronger you have become and how much stronger you will be as you go through the things you are going through right now. Remember that it is what you are going through right now that is preparing the way to get you ready to receive all the blessings that I have promised you and that will come to pass.

Allow your thankfulness to water your faith. As your faith is watered let the ground become ready to plant and to grow a quick but a fruitful harvest. Then as the harvest is ready and your heart is fully prepared, you will receive all that I have promised you and more. Allow the doors to be opened with your key of faith and know that you will succeed in all that I have asked as long as you remain thankful and obey My will.
